How to get Rayquaza

Added 27 Jul 2010, ID #13155

To get Rayquaza I highly recommend your lv50+ cause Rayquaza is lv45 and has about 700HP and also has deadly moves like ancientpower and scary face. Also when your trying to recruit him try having a friend bow cause or else its going to take you a long time to get him.Even with the friend bow it could take some time.I was a lv55 Feraligatr with a friend bow and it took me 5 tries just to get him and you have to get through 8 floors just to get to him.Here's a list moves that Rayquaza has.

Quick/Easy EXP Points for Training

Added 17 Feb 2009, ID #12612

Take your starter Pokemon (or another that's very strong, around lvl 50 to make it easy) and two Pokemon you want to train. Store ALL your items and money. This will make sure that even if you faint, you don't lose stuff. Now go to Makuhita's Dojo (south of Pokemon square) and face Team Hydro. Once you get to B3, switch your teammates' tactics to Get Away, and take on the Swampert, Feraligator, and Blastoise yourself. Defeat them one at a time, so that if you lose you still managed to gain some exp. If you are successful, each of your Pokemon will gain ~3,000 exp per time. And since the dungeon is short, you don't have to worry about hunger, and it takes very little time.

If you want me to make a certain wondermail for you, just ask the question (the area where you submit questions). I can choose the reward item/friend area-only 4 areas availible, dungeon, and floor. Happy Rescuing =D

Great Pokemon and Not-So-Great Pokemon

Alrighty, I'm going to tell you guys which Pokemon are Great... And which Pokemon are Not-So-Great. I will rank Pokemon with "A" being the highest and "F" being the lowest.

STARTER POKEMON:"D" Chickorita: When fighting the first couple bosses, they are all Flying type, so Chickorita is obviously not a good Pokemon to start with. She makes a good partner though.

"A" Cubone: Talk about amazing! He has super-effective hits against many of the first bosses, plus his moves come with lots and lots of PP, which is useful for Linking!

"B" Squirtile: Very good defensive tactics, new players to these types of games should DEFINATLY choose Squirtle. Also, if you get a Fire Pokemon to go with him, you got one mean-looking (excuse the pun) "sandwhich".

STORY MODE POKEMON:"B" Magnemite: The Steel-Type Magnemite has a great defense and an even better form of attacks! Combine "Metal Sound" with "Thundershock" to do up to triple damage! PP however, could use a little boost.

"D" Absol: At first, Absol is pretty useful. Sure, you might think having a Dark-Type Pokemon is fun, but Absol has little attack power, and even less defense. You have to get damage on enimies using thrown items and moves, which have very low PP.

"F" Smeargle: Awful. Just plain awful. Until you complete Story Mode by deafeting Raquaza, Smeargle won't be able to get any moves with "Sketch" because he uses it before the oppinent uses a move! Then, he'll start to use "Struggle" non-stop, and before you go five floors into the dungeon, he'll have killed himself! If that wasn't bad enough, while you and your partner are level 27 or so at the time, Smeargle starts out at level... 5. Although I must say, the flag is a nice touch.

Latias and Latios

Added 19 Mar 2007, ID #10471

First it is called Pokemon *MYSTERY* dungeon:Red Rescue Team not mysterious!!!

To recruite the Lati duo you need to first destroy the Meteorite falling to the planet by defeating Raquaza. Then some new friend areas will come. Buy the one called Southern Island which is located at the bottom right of the friend area map in the Southern Isles.Go to option 2 for the easy way.

Option 1Hint Charizard can't fly over water or anything else!(It can't fly)It can wlak across Magma. Then you can either get a flying or water type Pokemon and go to Solar Cave. On floor 20 you will find an area with a HM/TM (this one is a HM)on the floor surrounded by water for this part the leader must be the Water or flying type.Cross the water get HM Surf then get out.Go to step 3

Option 2

To get surf on the menu select wonder mail and use this codeTiny woods F1 HM surf

1?NN 9W(...)? 4R?WR!?N 64N6 5W?W

Your job list must have a space free.Go to step 3

Step 3Do a few dungeons and after awhile you wake up early then see a blue f;ash across the screen.Go to Pokemon square with your partner. Now complete the dungeon and beat Latios. Then rescue Latias in the dungeon unlocked after that and Walah they join you.

How to get gardevori on your team

Recruit Kecleon

Added 1 Jul 2007, ID #11031

Hey I'm new here. The way to recruit kecleon is to deafeat him after shoplifting. Beware he is extremeley powerful. His lick killed my Flygon(152HP)! Most of your attacks do 1HP. The key to killing him is orbs. First you need the two-edge orb & min. 3 reviver seeeds. Use the two edge orb. Then kecleon will attack. With kecleon down to 1HP, any special attack should do it. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems logical enough

How to evolve Pokemon that normally needs to be traded before it

Added 8 Oct 2006, ID #9440

Well in this version, you won't actually need to trade them to evolve to their last forms. But, you'll need the item "Link Cable" to evolve certain kinds of Pokemon such as: Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler and Haunter. You'll notice that these pokemons need to be traded for them to evolve to their last forms.

To get the item "Link Cable", you must already have the kind of HM that you found on a certain dungeon and you need to go to the place where you got it, in other words, go back to the dungeon where you got your HM. For example, in Wyvern Hill, you get the HM Fly on the 30th floor, simply go back to the same dungeon on the same floor and in the place where you got the HM, in the exact same location you will find the Link Cable in replacement of the HM you already have from that dungeon.

Happy Hunting!

After you have a Link Cable and the Pokemon you want to evolve, go to the Luminous Cave, when it asks you if you would give an item as payment for the evolution, choose any item you want EXCEPT for the Link Cable. We're not done yet, when it asks you if you would give ANOTHER item, SELECT YES, AND SELECT the Link Cable from your toolbox and wait for the Pokemon to finish the evolution process. That's it, you're all set! Hope I helped.

Get some legendaries 100%

Added 5 Feb 2008, ID #11750

To get some legendaries 100%, just save at the Kangeskong and send all your team mates back to their Friend Area. When you get to the legendary, battle it and if you recruit it, good for you but if it doesn't join, shut the game off and go through again. Keep doing it until you get them. That is how I got Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Groudon and Rayquaza. Those are the only ones that you can do this with, that is why the title says "Some legendaries".

ON THE SKY TOWER/PILLAR.....

Added 23 Sep 2006, ID #9287

On the Sky Pillar....

I know it's hard! It took me several, several (hmmm...... I mentioned several?) times to beat it, when I had a revelation: Get your starter Pokemon, and it's partners at at least level 35 or so. Obtain the warp scarf (if you've been going on many missions, you should have it, or check the kecleon shop!) Get inside the "dungeon", and place your team in a safe location. Next, stand turned away from your team (but don't move yet!) now hit the A button about three times. Soon, you'll warp to a different area. Keep moving untill you reach the stairs on that floor. Now, switch out the warp scarf with something else (so you don't warp away!!!). Step on the stairs ( the light blue square (the one with the empty middle), and your partner(s) will be on the next floor. Keep doing this for 25 levels. After that, you'll see a kangaskhan statue in the middle of the clearing. SAVE IT!!!! Continue on, and repeat the above procedure. If you don't faint, it may take no more than 45 minutes, guarenteed!

how to get through sky tower

Added 10 Jan 2011, ID #13338

The secret to beating sky tower is to have toolbox a to all have revior seeds. and toolbox b 3 max elixers 3 huge apples and the rest oran berries. ok so when your in the dungeon you have to use your best moves on all your oppents. for example i have a lvl 30 cubone as my starter and a lvl 31 bulbasur as my partner. i use bonemerang and bone club on every person because i have max elixers. their are 25 floors in sky tower. after that you have 9 more to get to rayquaza. once your at rayquaza, stock up on all item you have left and unload on him (use your BEST move). good luck hope this is helpful.

Great Healing Combo!

Added 14 Sep 2013, ID #13931

I have a lvl one hundred Zapdos that knows detect and rest! If your in a bad place at low health like a monster house, use detect to protect yourself, then heal with rest! If your stomach is empty, you can rest when ever your health is low. Its even better when you have max elixers! If your facing a legendary, use detect. You'll use your turn protecting yourself, and they will use their turn moving forward or using a weather move or status move. I bet a lot of other Pokemon can learn the same combo with protect and rest or protect and recover or detect and recover. Hope this helped!

Kelcleon

Added 24 Apr 2013, ID #13868

Anyway what makes him so rare on Red Rescue Team? Well right let's focus on recruiting him. His recruit rate is -33.9. Yes, he is one of those negative Pokemon recruit rating. If you have a Friend Bow then that will make it a -23.9 chance of recruiting it. Now the levels change up the ratingsalso. 1-20 won't do and anyways they'll have already demolished your ass with hundreds of other Kelcleon that have respawned. Levels between 90-100 will do and it will add 34% to recruiting it. Now by doing the math you will have a close point 1 chance of getting. Which mean kill at least 101 of them then they will ask. Believe me I used Deoxys to getting and Deoxys in his defense form make all Kelcleon's attacks take one damage. Speed form will have you moving at the sane speed as the Kelcleon since they take two steps for every one step you take. Attack will give you one hit blows on any Kelcleon you approach. Go to either Mt. Thunder, Mt. Blaze or Frosty Forest. Have on your X-ray Specs to seek their store out. Put on your Freind Bow and hunt them down.

Make some traps ineffective

Added 17 Mar 2011, ID #13428

To make some traps ineffective your leader should be lvl 100 it helps for me because when I step on a trap it rarely activates specially on those sticky traps sludge and other traps that cause your items no longger usable ps. Does not work on expotion traps

Best Starters

Added 27 Dec 2008, ID #12541

The best starters for this game would have to be Pikachu,Charmander,and/or Squirtle.Pikachu has the best attacks that cause the most damage,Charmander also causes good damage and the fire can kill any Pokemon with 1 hit except rock and water,and Squirtle levels up the fastest.I started my game over 3 times with these 3 Pokemon and beat the game with all of them.Squirtle is good at beating Rayquaza and Groudon and Articuno and Moltres.Charazard(evolvtion of charmander)killed Mew and Mew2 with 2 fire blasts.Pikachu killed Deoxyes with a volt tackle.Volt tackle is easy to get i'll tell you on my next segment

The Great Pokemon Starter Ever!!!

Added 15 Nov 2008, ID #12454

Everybody think which are the best Pokemon starter! Well,if you choose the fire type Pokemon, then the legendary Pokemon, Kyogre can easily defeat you! So I suggest that done choose the fire type pokemon!!! If you choose the plant type Pokemon, the legendary, moltres and entei can defeat you easily too! So don't choose the plant type pokemon!!! If you choose the water type Pokemon, then the legendary zapdos and raikou will defeat you easily too!!! But don't worry, because you can choose MUDKIP. His type is water AND MUD!! Electric type Pokemon weak against MUD!!! So choose MUDKIP because it can defeat electric type Pokemon easily using it's Mud-slap and Muddy water!! Mudkip rules!

Get through any dungeon easily!!!

Added 8 Aug 2008, ID #12314

Ok.First you need a warp scarf (you can find them at sky tower).First go to a dungeon and look around your area fore the stairs for about 15 seconds.if you can't find them put on the warp scarf and walk a bit.Then it should say you warped.When you warp take off the warp scarf and look around.The stairs are usually close by and you somtimes fall on them!Its very rare there not close but if there not,look around for 15 seconds then repeat the first part. Hope this helps!!!

When you enter the dungeon take an oran berry with you and when you finish the escort it will ask if you want to leave say no and go to the stairs and on floor 2 there will be a gligar and when you're asked if you want to leave say yes and you'll get 3 bananas and 3200 poke - after at the kecleon shop sell the bananas and you'll be rich

Groudon,rayquaza,kyogre

Added 28 Jul 2008, ID #12272

To beat Groudon(my opinion) get a water and fire type Pokemon (water as your leader)maybe a squrtle and charmander.use those two for rayquaza also.when you talk to whishcash after beating rayquaza you get to evolve and swich partners.add an electabuzz or ampharos to your team and train them I think to about 35 and have you're water type to about 40.make sure electabuzz knows thunder punch.it willdo alot of damage.u can get electabuzz on mt.thunder same for ampharos I'm not sure but I think his friend area for ampharos is thunder meadow and electabzz power plant you get dat place free early in tha game I hope it works it worked for me cya =} rate me

If you want me to make a certain wondermail for you, just ask the question (the area where you submit questions). I can choose the reward item/friend area-only 4 areas availible, dungeon, and floor. Happy Rescuing =D

Smeargle

Added 23 Jul 2008, ID #12255

I found out that someone submitted a hint about Smeargle not being a good Pokemon because he only hase 1 move. Sketch, but when you sketch another move, when the pp of that move is gone, people, just use his regular attack. By leveling up, Smeargle can learn Sketch some more. My Smeargle learned sketch again at lvl. 15...i think.Hope This Helps For Smeargle Fans

Answers for furry-furret

Added 7 Jul 2008, ID #12203

There are 100 floors in Western Cave. On the 100th, you do battle Mewtwo. You do not have to clear Western Cave to get the other birds. My advice: Put a friend bow on your leader and use dragon-type moves to kill the birds. (I have a level 100 Articuno that can take out an entire room in one hit with Powder Snow. My regular attack does 250+) And, your team is okay. I would suggest learning a new move other than scratch, though.

Help with Smeargle for you

Easy Experience and Money

Added 5 Jul 2008, ID #12194

This hint is easy to do and gives a lot of exp. And money.(You must unlock Meteor Cave by defeating Lugia). Get a Pokemon that is atleast level 75. You should have x-ray specs, 2 huge apples, and a reviver seed(s). Go to Meteor Cave and put on the x-ray specs. To advance to the next floor, you have to defeat the deoxys mirage. It is much easier to find it with the x-ray specs. They give you either 660 exp. Or 1320 exp. Once you defeat it, it will say: a door opened up somewhere. You may now go to the next level. The only item in the dungeon is money, and there is a lot of it. The dungeon is 20 floors, on the 20th, you battle Deoxys. He is easy to beat. (I have a lvl. 84 Swampert, and I beat Deoxys in 4 hits)
